Caprese Salad

The classic salad from Capri: thick slices of ripe tomato layered with fresh buffalo mozzarella, torn basil, good olive oil and a pinch of salt. Nothing else, no vinegar, no balsamic glaze.

Caprese Salad

Instructions

  1. Lift 125 g of mozzarella di bufala out of its whey about 30 minutes before serving, set it on a plate and leave it at room temperature, fridge-cold mozzarella is rubbery and tastes of nothing. Keep the tomato out of the fridge too.
  2. With a sharp, thin-bladed knife cut 200 g of ripe tomato into rounds a good 1 cm thick, discarding only the tough stem end. Lay the slices on a board or tilted plate, sprinkle with about half of the 0.25 tsp of fine sea salt and leave 5 minutes so they release a little juice and their flavour opens up.
  3. Cut the drained mozzarella into rounds of the same 1 cm thickness, letting the milky liquid run off onto kitchen paper for a moment so it does not flood the plate.
